Setting JAVA_HOME

When using the RPM, by default rundeck will use java found in your path. Various RPM based distributions provide ways of managing which version of java is found. CentOS uses /usr/sbin/alternatives and the processing of setting alternatives can be found here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS.

If you have installed a JDK or JRE in a unique directory and do not want to alter the global system configuration, then simply setting JAVA_HOME before running any command will use the version of java found in JAVA_HOME/bin. Updating /etc/rundeck/profile with JAVA_HOME is another option as well.

Launcher

The Launcher installation generates the script into the RDECK_BASE directory.
